Won a Leicester handicap under Hollie Doyle last summer. Been absent for over a year but the presence of Doyle in the saddle again suggests she could be ready to roll on return.

Exceed And Eclipse³²

20/1

Signs of only a little ability in maiden/novice events this summer. Lightly-raced profile provides some hope but would need to see market support to seriously consider.

Forecasts

City Vaults (11/8), Star Of St Louis (7/4), Agent Of Fortune (10/3), Jeanette May (7/1), Carmela Soprano (8/1), Bonnie Lad (17/2), Channel Packet (10/1), Coul Universe (12/1), Ickytoo (14/1), Exceed And Eclipse (20/1), Ellen Clacy (28/1), Dolly Drake (100/1)

STAR OF ST LOUIS has been very consistent this year and is taken to notch career win number 2. Hollie Doyle has partnered Jeanette May to 2 of her 3 victories so her presence in the saddle suggests that this 6-y-o could be primed for her first outing in just over 12 months. Carmela Soprano is entitled to respect as a former C&D winner, while City Vaults would also need considering if turning up here after/instead of Ripon on Saturday.
